I've got 2 machines running MC, with my media on a third machine which also hosts my library. Generally this works very well, but I'm struggling to understand how to get new content to be added automatically to the library, and be available to both MC machines.
One of the machine is an HTPc in the lounge which is used exclusively for watching or listening to media. New media is added on the other machine, which is generally the one with read access to the database. I have auto-load set to run in background on both machine, and both point to the same library. I had expected that when I added content on one machine, auto-load would eventually pick it up and add it the library, and that it would be visible to both machines. But this doesn't seem to be happening. If I run autoload manually, it finds new content Ok. But it's not visible on the other machine. Even disconnecting and reconnecting the library doesn't seem to work.
On the read-only machine, there are no folders listed to be monitored. Running autoload manually reads the items already in the library, but doesn't find any new items?
Any ideas?
